1.3 Sales
Taxes; Israeli Value Added Tax.
The
Seller shall bear and pay all taxes payable by it in connection with the
performance of the sale of the Assets to the Purchaser Sub under any applicable
Tax law. Seller shall not be liable for any Tax levied against or otherwise
payable under applicable Tax law by the Purchaser or the Purchaser Sub. The
Purchase Price is exclusive of Value Added Tax (“VAT”).
Purchaser Sub shall be entitled to file a request pursuant to Section 20 of
Israeli Value Added Tax Law with respect to the Transactions (the “VAT
Request”).
At
Purchaser Sub’s request, the Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser Sub in
preparing and filing VAT Request. If the VAT Request is not approved by the
Closing, the applicable VAT, to the extent required to be paid, shall be paid
by
the Purchaser or Purchaser Sub to the Seller at any time after the date on
which
the applicable portion of the Purchase Price is payable in accordance with
this
Agreement, but not later than two business days prior to the date upon which
Seller is required to remit the applicable VAT to the Israeli VAT authorities
at
against receipt by Purchaser or Purchaser Sub of a valid VAT invoice from the
Seller.
1.4 Withholding.
The
Purchaser Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts as the
Purchaser and Purchaser Sub are required to deduct and withhold under applicable
Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided,
however,
that
Purchaser shall gross-up Seller for any non-Israeli tax withheld at Closing.
To
the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Purchaser or Purchaser Sub,
such
withheld amounts shall be paid by Purchaser Sub or Purchaser to the applicable
Tax Authority and, upon such payment, shall be treated for all purposes of
this
Agreement as having been paid to the Seller in respect of whom such deduction
and withholding was made by the Purchaser or Purchaser Sub. If, at the Closing,
the Seller delivers to the Purchaser and Purchaser Sub a certificate from the
Israeli Tax Authority evidencing an exemption from withholding of Taxes, which
shall be applicable, valid and in effect as of the Closing, the Purchaser and
Purchaser Sub shall honor such withholding tax exemption.
To avoid
doubt, Purchaser Sub's obligation to withhold with respect to the consideration
payable under this Agreement also applies with respect to the deposit of the
Escrow Shares, and the amount of such withholding will be deducted and withheld
from the Cash Payment payable hereunder at the Closing, unless an appropriate
certificate of exemption from withholding is provided.
1.5 Allocation.
At or
prior to the Closing, the Purchaser and Seller shall agree upon a statement
setting forth the parties’ good faith determination of the manner in which the
consideration referred to in Sections 1.2(a) is to be allocated among the
Assets. Such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Seller for
all
purposes, and the Seller shall not file any Tax Return or other document with,
or make any statement or declaration to, any Governmental Body that is
inconsistent with such allocation.

individually), were accurate in all material respects as of the date of this
Agreement, (B) that all of the covenants and obligations that the Seller
are required to comply with or to perform at or prior to the Closing (considered
collectively), and each of said covenants and obligations (considered
individually), have been duly complied

(a) If
there
are any Consents that have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full
force and effect) as of the Closing with respect to the assignment or delegation
to Purchaser Sub of any rights or obligations under any Seller Contract, in
the
case of each such Seller Contract as to which a Consent was not obtained (or
otherwise is not in full force and effect) (collectively, the “Restricted
Contracts”),
Purchaser Sub, in its sole discretion, may waive any closing condition as to
any
such Consent and either:
(i) accept
the assignment and liability of such Restricted Contract, in which case, as
between Purchaser Sub and Seller, such Restricted Contract shall, to the maximum
extent practicable and notwithstanding the failure to obtain the applicable
Consent, be transferred at the Closing pursuant to the Assumption Agreement
as
elsewhere provided under this Agreement; or
(ii) elect
to
have Seller continue its efforts to obtain such Consent, in which case,
notwithstanding Sections 1.1 and 1.2, neither this Agreement nor the Assumption
Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the Transactions
shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or
delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance
or
delivery of the Restricted Contracts, and following the Closing, the parties
shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with each other, to
obtain the Consent relating to each Restricted Contract as quickly as
practicable. Pending the obtaining of such Consents relating to any Restricted
Contract, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and
lawful arrangements designed to provide to Purchaser Sub the benefits of use
and
liabilities of the Restricted Contract for its term (or any right or benefit
arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of Purchaser
Sub
of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereunder or the renewal
or
-7-
extension
of the term thereof). Once a Consent for the sale, assignment, assumption,
transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Restricted Contract is obtained, Seller
shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Restricted Contract
to
Purchaser Sub, and Purchase Sub shall assume the obligations under such
Restricted Contract assigned to Purchaser Sub from and after the date of
assignment to Purchaser Sub pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and
assumption agreement substantially similar in terms to those of the Assumption
Agreement (which special-purpose agreement the parties shall prepare, execute
and deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer, all at no additional
cost to Purchaser Sub).
(b) Notwithstanding
the aforesaid, in the event that any Restricted Contract has a Liability not
exceeding $25,000 (twenty five thousand US dollars), Purchaser Sub shall waive
any closing condition as to any such Consent and apply one of the alternative
provisions of Section 1.7(a) above; provided,
however,
that
Purchaser Sub shall only waive any closing condition as to any such Consent
for
two (2) such Restricted Contracts.
(c) In
the
event that the Purchaser and Purchaser Sub waive the closing condition with
respect to the failure to obtain any Consent with respect to any Restricted
Contract, Purchaser and Purchaser Sub shall not be entitled to any reduction
in
or set off against the purchase price otherwise payable by Purchaser and
Purchaser Sub as a result of such failure to obtain such Consent.
1.8 Escrow
Shares Adjustment.
(a) In
the
event that there has been no Next Financing prior to the expiration of the
Indemnification Period, the Seller, Purchaser and Purchaser Sub shall mutually
make a determination of the fair market value of the Purchaser’s Series B
Preferred Stock as of the Closing Date (the “Series
B Fair Value”)
and the
number of Escrow Shares and Belzberg Shares in the Escrow Account shall be
adjusted as necessary to reflect any difference between the Series B Fair Value
and $0.775.
(b) In
the
event that Seller, Purchaser, and Purchaser Sub cannot agree on the Series
B
Fair Value, within thirty (30) days after the end of the Indemnification Period,
Seller, Purchaser, and Purchaser Sub shall retain an appraiser selected jointly
by the Seller, Purchaser, and Purchaser Sub to establish such Series B Fair
Value. If the Seller and Purchaser Sub are unable to agree on an appraiser
within ten (10) days, the Seller and Purchaser shall each select an appraiser
and those appraisers shall select a third appraiser, which appraiser shall
determine such Series B Fair Value. The expenses of such firm shall shared
equally by Seller and Purchaser Sub.
(c) The
parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any such
appraiser and to cause such valuation to be completed as soon as possible,
and
in any event within sixty (60) days after the retention of such firm.
Immediately upon determination of the Series B Fair Value, the Purchaser shall
cause notice thereof and a copy of the written report or analysis prepared
by
the Appraiser to be delivered to the Seller and the number of Escrow Shares
and
Belzberg Shares in the Escrow Account
-8-
shall
be
promptly adjusted as necessary to reflect any difference between the Series
B
Fair Value and $0.775.

The
Seller has never infringed (directly, contributorily, by inducement, or
otherwise), misappropriated, or otherwise violated or made unlawful use of

competition. No Seller Product that is not owned by a third party, and no method
or process used in the manufacturing of any Seller Product that is not owned
by
a third party, infringes, violates, or makes unlawful use of any Intellectual
Property Right of, or contains any Intellectual Property misappropriated from,

owned by a third party, and no method or process used in the manufacturing
of
any Seller Product that is owned by a third party, infringes, violates, or
makes
unlawful use of any Intellectual Property Right of, or contains any Intellectual
Property misappropriated from, any other Person. There is no legitimate basis
for a claim that the Seller or any Seller Product that is not owned by a third
party has infringed or
-16-
misappropriated
any Intellectual Property Right of another Person or engaged in unfair
competition or that any Seller Product that is not owned by a third party,
or

to
the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller or, to the knowledge
of the Seller, against any other Person who is or may be entitled to be
indemnified, defended, held harmless, or reimbursed by the Seller with respect
to such claim or Proceeding. The Seller has never received any notice or other
communication (in writing or otherwise) relating to any actual, alleged, or
suspected infringement, misappropriation, or violation by the Seller, any of
their employees or agents, or any Seller Product of any Intellectual Property
Rights of another Person, including any letter or other communication suggesting

of another Person.

Infringement Liability.
The
Seller is not bound by any Active Seller Contract to indemnify, defend, hold
harmless, or reimburse any other Person with respect to, or otherwise assumed

such Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Right by the Seller, or
(b)
the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, provision,
licensing or sale of any Seller Product that is not owned by a third
party.
(l) Bugs.
None of
the software (including firmware and other software embedded in hardware

of
performing, any of the following functions: (a) disrupting, disabling, harming,
or otherwise impeding in any manner the operation of, or providing unauthorized
access to, a computer system or network or other device on which such code

and best practices in the software industry; and (ii) sufficient to
independently enable a programmer of reasonable skill and competence to
understand, analyze, and interpret program logic, correct errors and improve,
enhance, modify and support the Seller Software. No source code for any Seller
Software has been delivered, licensed, or made available to any escrow agent
or
other Person who is not, as of the date of this Agreement, an employee of the
Seller. The Seller has no duty or obligation (whether present, contingent,
or
otherwise) to deliver, license, or make available the source code for any Seller
Software to any escrow agent or other Person. No event has occurred, and no
circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of
time)

or
disclosure of the source code for any Seller Software to any other
Person.

unwritten policies or customs that, by extension, could entitle Israeli
Employees to benefits in addition to what they are entitled by law (including,
by way of example but without limitation, unwritten customs concerning the
payment of statutory severance pay when it is not legally required).
The
Seller
has not engaged any consultants, sub-contractors or freelancers who, according

under
any Seller Employee Plan, Seller Employee Agreement, trust or loan that will
or
may result (either alone or in connection with any other circumstance or event)
in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration,
forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or
obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Seller Employee.
(e) Except
as
set forth in Part 2.18(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Seller: (i)

interfere with the business of the Seller. Neither the execution nor the
delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the business of the Seller
as
presently conducted nor any activity of such Newly Hired Employees in connection
with the carrying on of the business of the Seller as presently conducted will,
to
the
best of the knowledge of the Seller,

or
constitute a default under, any Contract under which any of such Newly Hired
Employee is now bound.

is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Purchaser
and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Seller may not sell, pledge
or otherwise transfer any interest in the Escrow Shares (or the Conversion
Shares underlying the Escrow Shares) unless the Escrow Shares (or the Conversion
Shares underlying the Escrow Shares) are registered pursuant to the Securities
Act or in reliance on an exemption from such registration is available under
the
Securities Act, and in the absence of such registration or exemption, Seller
must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely. Seller understands
that the Purchaser has no present intention of registering the Escrow Shares,
the Belzberg Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock.
Seller also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from
registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if
available, such exemption may not allow Seller to transfer all or any portion
of
the Escrow Shares or the Conversion Shares underlying the Escrow Shares under
the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Seller might
propose.
(b) Acquisition
for Own Account; Transfer of Belzberg Shares.
Seller
is acquiring the Escrow Shares and the Conversion Shares for Seller’s own
account for investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution.
Seller is acquiring the Belzberg Shares with the view towards their immediate
transfer, at the Closing, to Belzberg. To Seller’s knowledge, Belzberg is
acquiring the Belzberg Shares from Seller for Belzberg’s own account for
investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution. Seller
represents and warrants that Seller has made no general solicitation in
connection with the transfer of the Belzberg Shares to Belzberg and that Seller
has not offered the Belzberg Shares to, or solicited offers from, anyone other
than Belzberg. In connection with the aforementioned transfer, Seller authorizes
the transfer of the Belzberg Shares to Belzberg on the Company’s books and
records and the issuance of a stock certificate representing the Belzberg
Shares.
(c) Seller
Can Protect Its Interest.
Seller
represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial
experience, Seller has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection
with the transactions contemplated in Transactional Agreement. Further, Seller
is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the
Transactions.
(d) Purchaser
Information.
Seller
has had an opportunity to discuss Purchaser’s business, management and financial
affairs with directors, officers and management of the Purchaser and has had
the
opportunity to review the Purchaser’s operations and facilities. Seller has also
had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, the Purchaser
and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this
investment.
-33-
(e) Rule
144.
Seller
acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Shares, and, if issued, the Conversion
Shares underlying the Escrow Shares, are “restricted securities” as defined in
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely
unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption
from such registration is available. Seller has been advised or is aware of
the
provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in
a
private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including,
among other things: the availability of certain current public information
about
the Purchaser, the resale occurring following the required holding period under
Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period
not
exceeding specified limitations.
(f) Regulation
S.
(i) Seller
hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of
the
laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for
the
Escrow Shares or Belzberg Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i)
the
legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Escrow Shares
or Belzberg Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such
purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained,
and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant
to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Escrow Shares
or
Belzberg Shares. The Purchaser’s issuance and Seller’s acquisition of the Escrow
Shares and Belzberg Shares and continued beneficial ownership of the Escrow
Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Seller’s
jurisdiction.
(ii) The
Belzberg Shares and Escrow Shares are not being acquired for the account or
benefit of, a U.S. Person, and not with a view to the resale or distribution
of
any part thereof in the United States or to a U.S. Person, and Seller has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same to any U.S. Person.
(iii) Seller
does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third
person in the United States or to a U.S. Person, or any hedging transaction
with
any third person in the United States or to a United States resident, with
respect to any of the Escrow Shares.
(iv) Seller
understands that the Belzberg Shares and Escrow Shares are not registered under
the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement
and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under
the
Securities Act in part pursuant to Regulation S thereof, and that Purchaser’s
reliance on such exemption is predicated on Seller’s representations set forth
herein.
(v) Seller
is
a person or entity that is not a U.S. Person.
-34-
(vi) Seller
further acknowledges and understands that the certificate evidencing the Escrow
Shares and the Belzberg Shares shall be imprinted with the following legend
(in
addition to any legend required under applicable state or foreign securities
laws):
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO REGULATION S OF
THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED,
PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH,
PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT
ANY
PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS EITHER IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO A SALE PURSUANT
TO
RULE 144(K) UNDER THE ACT, PROVIDED THAT THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED
CUSTOMARY REPRESENTATIONS CERTIFYING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH RULE
144(K)). IN ADDITION, NO HEDGING TRANSACTION MAY BE CONDUCTED WITH RESPECT
TO
THESE SECURITIES UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
ACT.”

and to carry out the provisions of the Transactional Agreement and to carry
on
its business as presently conducted. The Purchaser is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions
in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and
leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions
in
which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser
or its business.
3.2 Organization
and Qualification of Purchaser Sub.
The
Purchaser Sub is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of Israel. The Purchaser Sub has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver
the Transactional Agreements, and to carry out the provisions of the
Transactional Agreement and to carry on its business as presently conducted.
The
Purchaser is not required to be qualified, authorized, registered or licenses
to
do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction.
3.3 Subsidiaries.
The
Purchaser does not own or control any equity security or other interest of
any
other corporation, limited partnership or other business entity
-35-
other

partnership or similar arrangement. Since its inception, the Purchaser has
not
consolidated or merged with, acquired all or substantially all of the assets
of,
or acquired the stock of or any interest in any corporation, partnership,

Voting Rights of Purchaser.
(a) The

$0.001
par value per share, 26,908,388 shares of which are issued and outstanding,
and

Common Stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants
of
the Purchaser pursuant to its 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
a
complete and accurate copy of which has been made available to Seller prior
to
the date hereof. Of such reserved shares of Common Stock, (i) 763,154 shares
have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options and are
included in the number of shares reflected as issued and outstanding in

outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights
and rights of first refusal), proxy or stockholder agreements, or agreements
of
any kind for the purchase or acquisition from the Purchaser of any of its
securities. No stock plan, stock purchase, stock option or other agreement
or
understanding between the Purchaser and any holder of equity securities or
rights to purchase equity securities provides for acceleration or other changes
in the vesting provisions or terms of such agreements or understandings, or
the
lapse of a Purchaser repurchase right, upon the occurrence of any event. Other
than in connection with a recapitalization, stock split or the like, the
Purchaser has never adjusted or amended the exercise price of any stock options

Certificate”)
a true
and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H.
Each
outstanding series of Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock on a
one-for-one basis as of the date hereof and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder will not result in any anti-dilution adjustment or other
similar adjustment to the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. Prior to the
issuance of the Escrow Shares, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly
reserved for issuance. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Restated Certificate, the Escrow Shares and the Conversion
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free
of
any liens or encumbrances other than liens and encumbrances created by or
imposed upon purchasers of the New Financing Stock; provided,
however,
that
the Escrow Shares and the Conversion Shares may be subject to restrictions
on
transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or
as
otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed.
(f) Based
in
part upon the representations of the Seller in Section 2 of this Agreement
and
subject to the provisions of Section 3.5 below, the Escrow Shares and the
Conversion Shares will be issued in compliance with the Securities Act and
all
applicable federal and state securities laws.
(g) All
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, and all shares of Common

outstanding shares of Purchaser Sub’s share capital (i) have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) were
issued in compliance with all applicable laws concerning the issuance of
securities, and (iii) are owned by the Purchaser.
3.6 Authorization;

respective officers, directors and stockholders, necessary for the authorization
of the Transactional Agreements, the performance of all obligations of the
Purchaser and Purchaser Sub hereunder at the Closing and the authorization,
sale, issuance and delivery of the Escrow Shares pursuant hereto and
the
-37-
Conversion
Shares pursuant to the Restated Certificate, has been or will be taken prior
to
Closing. The Transactional Agreements, when executed and delivered, will be
valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser and Purchaser Sub enforceable
in

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) as limited by
general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable
remedies, and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of the
indemnification provisions in this Agreement may be limited by applicable laws.

or
complied with prior to the issuance of the Escrow Shares.

2 of

(c) The
Purchaser is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any Contract
(including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement,
or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative

or Bylaws, each as amended, or of any provision of any Contract to which it
is
party or by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ other
than any such violation that would not have a material adverse effect on the
Purchaser. The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with
the
Transactional Agreements, and the issuance and sale of the Escrow Shares
pursuant hereto and of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Restated
Certificate, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice,
result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute
a
material default under any such term, or result in the creation of any mortgage,
pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of
the
Purchaser or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewable
of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Purchaser,
its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.
3.16 Litigation.
There is
no Proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge,
currently threatened in writing against the Purchaser that questions the
validity of the Transactional Agreements or the right of the Purchaser to enter
into any of such agreements, or to consummate the Transactions, or which would
reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in
any material adverse change in the assets, condition or affairs of the
Purchaser, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity
ownership of the Purchaser, nor is the Purchaser aware that there is any basis
for any of the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions
pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened in writing involving the
prior employment of any of the Purchaser’s employees, their use in connection
with the Purchaser’s business of any information or techniques allegedly
proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any
agreements with prior employers. The Purchaser is not a party or to its
knowledge subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment

and
payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and to the Purchaser’s
knowledge all other Taxes due and payable by the Purchaser on or before the
Closing Date, have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they
become
-42-
delinquent.
The Purchaser has no knowledge of any liability of any Tax to be imposed upon
its properties or assets as of the date of this Agreement that is not adequately
provided for.

3.19 Employees.
The
Purchaser has no collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees.
There is no labor union organizing activity pending or, to the Purchaser’s
knowledge, threatened with respect to the Purchaser. To the Purchaser’s
knowledge, no employee of the Purchaser, nor any consultant with whom the
Purchaser has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment
contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating
to
the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the
Purchaser; and to the Purchaser’s knowledge the continued employment by the
Purchaser of its present employees, and the performance of the Purchaser’s
contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such
violation. The Purchaser has not received any notice alleging that any such
violation has occurred. No employee of the Purchaser has been granted the right
to continued employment by the Purchaser or to any material compensation
following termination of employment with the Purchaser. The Purchaser is not
aware that any officer, key employee or group of employees intends to terminate
his, her or their employment with the Purchaser, nor does the Purchaser have
a
present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee
or
group of employees. There are no actions pending, or to the Purchaser’s
knowledge, threatened, by any former or current employee concerning such
person’s employment by the Purchaser.

Except
as set forth on Part 3.20 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, the Purchaser
is
presently not under any obligation, and has not granted any rights, to register
any of the presently outstanding securities or any of its securities that may

or
(ii) the Seller reasonably determines that the timely satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Section 6 has become impossible or impractical

Seller to comply with or perform any covenant or obligation set forth in this
Agreement);
(c) by
the
Purchaser or Purchaser
Sub
if the
Closing has not taken place on or before December 31, 2006 (other than as a
result of any failure on the part of the Purchaser or Purchaser
Sub
to
comply with or perform its covenants and obligations under this
Agreement);
(d) by
the
Seller if the Closing has not taken place on or before December 31, 2006
(other than as a result of any failure on the part of the Seller to comply

(e) by
the

made by the Seller in this Agreement.
8.2 Indemnification
By The Seller.
(a) The
Seller shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees from and
against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees for, any
Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of the
Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees is subject at any time
(regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim)
and
that arise directly from or as a direct result of, or are directly connected
with:
(i) any
Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement
as
of the date of this Agreement or, with respect to Section 2.30 only, as of
the
date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, (without giving effect to
any

or warranty, and without giving effect to any update to the Seller Disclosure

Purchaser Sub or any of the other Indemnitees may become subject and that arises
directly or indirectly from or relates directly or indirectly to (A) any product
produced or sold or any services performed by or on behalf of the Seller prior
to the Cut-Off Date, (B) the operation by the Seller of its business, (C) the
assignment of any Seller Contract to Purchase Sub without the Consent of any
Person required to give its Consent to such assignment, (D) any failure to

(vi) any
impairment of Seller IP as a result of, or the defense of any claim or
Proceeding brought against any Indemnitee in connection with, any matter
referenced in Part 2.11(g)(iii), 2.11(p) and Part 2.11(k)(i) of the Seller
Disclosure Schedule;
(vii) any
claim
or determination that the consummation of the purchase of the Assets constitutes
a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under applicable laws relating
to
bankruptcy and insolvency; or
(viii) any
Proceeding relating directly to any Breach, Liability or matter of the type
referred to in above (including any Proceeding commenced by any Indemnitee
for
the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 8, to the
extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification by Seller in such
Proceeding, and subject to Section 10.3).
(b) Subject
to Section 8.2(e), the Seller shall not be required to make any
indemnification payment pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i), 8.2(a)(ii) or
8.2(a)(iii) for any Breach as set forth in such Sections until such time as
the
total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such Breach
and
all other Damages arising from any other Breaches) that have been directly
suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees, or to which any
one
or more of the Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds
$100,000 (one hundred thousand US dollars). (If the total amount of such Damages
exceeds $100,000, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against
and compensated and reimbursed for the entire amount of such Damages, and not
merely the portion of such Damages exceeding $100,000.)
-57-
(c) The
Indemnitee shall only be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Damages
if the Claim Notice with respect to such indemnification matter is given prior
to the expiration of the Indemnification Period. All indemnification payments
shall only be paid from and out of the Escrow Fund, by way of the release of
such number of Escrow Shares (or, to the extent that the Escrow Shares remaining
in the Escrow Fund are insufficient, other property held in the Escrow Account
in respect of the Escrow Shares) from the Escrow Fund having a value equal
to
the indemnification payment due and payable by Seller and up to an aggregate
value of $4,500,000. The value of each Escrow Share for the purpose of this
Section 8.2 shall be the Escrow Share Value. For purposes of clarification,
the
Belzberg Shares (or other property held in the Escrow Account in respect of
the
Belzberg Shares) shall not be paid out of the Escrow Account in connection
with
any indemnification claim.
(d) The
limitations on the indemnification obligations of the Seller that are set forth
in Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.2(c) shall not apply with respect to fraud,
intentional misrepresentation or knowledge of a deliberate or willful Breach
of
any representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.
(e) In
no
event will Seller have any Liability to any Indemnitee for any indirect,
incidental, consequential, special or speculative damages, including Damages
for
loss of profits or use, business interruption or loss of goodwill, irrespective
of whether such Damages arise under contract, tort, statute or otherwise and
whether or not the Indemnitee has given the Seller advance notice of the
possibility of such Liability or Damages.
(f) In
no
event will Seller have any Liability to any Indemnitee for any Damages that
were
caused as a direct result of the failure of Purchaser or Purchaser Sub to grant
its consent to any action of the Seller pursuant to Section 4.2 above provided
that Seller made Purchaser and Purchaser Sub aware of the potential for such
Damages at the time such consent was requested.
8.3 Setoff.
Each
obligation and payment owed or due by either party hereto to the other pursuant
hereto until immediately after the Closing shall be the independent obligation
of such party and each of such parties hereby expressly waive any right or
entitlement to setoff any amounts due or payable to such party from amounts
due
or payable to them. The foregoing shall cease to apply immediately following
the
Closing. After the Closing, in addition to any rights of setoff or other rights
that the Purchaser, Purchaser
Sub
or any
of the other Indemnitees may have at common law or otherwise, the Purchaser
and
Purchaser
Sub shall
have the right to withhold and deduct any sum that may be owed to any Indemnitee
under this Section 8 from any amount otherwise payable by any Indemnitee to
the Seller. The withholding and deduction of any such sum shall operate for
all
purposes as a complete discharge (to the extent of such sum) of the obligation
to pay the amount from which such sum was withheld and deducted.
8.4 Nonexclusivity
Of Indemnification Remedies.
The
indemnification remedies and other remedies provided in this Section 8
shall not be deemed to be
-58-
exclusive.
Accordingly, the exercise by any Person of any of its rights under this
Section 8 shall not be deemed to be an election of remedies and shall not
be deemed to prejudice, or to constitute or operate as a waiver of, any other
right or remedy that such Person may be entitled to exercise (whether under
this
Agreement, under any other Contract, under any statute, rule or other Legal
Requirement, at common law, in equity or otherwise). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, from and after the Closing, indemnification under this Section 8
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees with respect to any
claim for which monetary damages is the remedy sought or available.
8.5 Defense
Of Third Party Claims.
In the
event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding
(whether against the Purchaser or Purchaser
Sub,
against
any other Indemnitee or against any other Person) with respect to which the
Seller may become obligated to indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse
any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8, the Seller shall have the right
(unless (i) the Seller is also a Person against whom the claim is made and
the
Purchaser determines in good faith that joint representation would be
inappropriate or (ii) Seller fails to provide reasonable assurance to the
Purchaser of its financial capacity to defend such claim and provide
indemnification with respect to such claim) to assume the defense of such claim
or Proceeding at the sole expense of the Seller with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser. If the Seller elects to assume the defense of any
such claim or Proceeding:
(a) the
Seller shall proceed to defend such claim or Proceeding in a diligent manner
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser;
(b) the
Purchaser shall make available to the Seller any documents and materials in
the
possession of the Purchaser or Purchaser
Sub that
may
be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding and the full assistance
of the Newly Hired Employees;
(c) the
Seller shall keep the Purchaser and Purchaser
Sub informed
of all material developments and events relating to such claim or
Proceeding;
(d) the
Purchaser and Purchaser
Sub
shall
have the right to participate in the defense of such claim or Proceeding at
their own cost and expense;
(e) the
Seller shall not settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding without
the prior written consent of the Purchaser or Purchaser
Sub, as applicable, not to be unreasonably withheld; and
(f) such
assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that
the
claims made in that claim are within the scope of and subject to
indemnification.
If
the
Seller does not elect to assume the defense of any such claim or Proceeding,
the
Purchaser or Purchaser Sub may proceed with the defense of such claim or
Proceeding on its own. If the
-59-
Purchaser
or Purchaser Sub so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Proceeding
on
its own:
(i) all
reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Proceeding (whether
or not incurred by the Purchaser) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the
Purchaser or the Purchaser Sub, and, subject to Section 8.2 above, shall be
deemed Damages as they are incurred, for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled
to indemnification payment;
(ii) the
Seller shall make available to the Purchaser and Purchaser
Sub any
documents and materials in the possession or control of the Seller that may
be
necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;
(iii) the
Purchaser and Purchaser
Sub shall
keep the Seller informed of all material developments and events relating to
such claim or Proceeding; and
(iv) the
Purchaser and Purchaser
Sub shall
have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding with
the
consent of the Seller; provided,
however,
that
the Seller shall not unreasonably withhold such consent.
8.6 Exercise
Of Remedies By Indemnitees Other Than The Purchaser.
No
Indemnitee (other than the Purchaser or Purchaser Sub or any successor thereto
or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or
exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless the Purchaser or Purchaser
Sub (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the
assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

reasonably request, for the purpose of evidencing the Transactions and putting
the Purchaser Sub in possession and control of all of the Assets. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date,
the
Seller shall promptly remit to the Purchaser Sub any funds that are received

after the Closing Date) that the Purchaser and Purchase Sub may deem appropriate
for the purpose of (i) collecting, asserting, enforcing or perfecting any
claim, right or interest of any kind that is included in or relates to any
of
the Assets, (ii) defending or compromising any claim or Proceeding relating
to any of the Assets, or (iii) otherwise carrying out or facilitating any
of the Transactions, all to the extent not performed by the Seller in accordance
herewith. The power of attorney referred to in the preceding sentence is and
shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and shall survive
the dissolution or insolvency of the Seller.

repurchase shall be made at the higher of (i) the Escrow Share Value, and (ii)
the fair market value of the Belzberg Shares as of the date of repurchase.
All
cash paid as consideration for the repurchase of the Belzberg Shares pursuant

of
each of its subsidiaries to a name that does not include the word “e-SIM” or any

whereby it permits the Purchaser and Purchaser Sub to use the name "e-SIM".
9.5 Distribution
of Escrow Fund.
During
the Indemnification Period the Seller shall not distribute any of the Escrow
Fund, or any rights to participate in the Escrow Fund, without receiving the
prior written consent of Purchaser and Purchaser Sub. After the expiration

Fund to Seller, the Seller shall be free to distribute any property
so
-61-
released
to Seller to any Person provided that Seller shall provide Purchaser with 45
days advance notice of any distribution of Escrow Shares.
9.6 Confidentiality.
Each
party hereto shall not disclose or use, and will direct its Representatives

Authorizations, books and records and other documents and data for the purpose
of verifying the accuracy of the Closing Certificate, such rights of access
to
be exercised in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the
